Beryl from deposits of the Ural Emerald Belt, Russia: ICP-MS-LA and infrared spectroscopy study

Single crystals of beryl from varied deposits of the Ural Emerald Belt were examined using ICP-MS-LA and IR spectroscopy. The distinct relationships of Li, Na, and Cs allow one to distinguish three genetic groups of beryl that resulted from an evolved mineral-forming fluid. It is shown that the Cs/N...

Description
Summary:	Single crystals of beryl from varied deposits of the Ural Emerald Belt were examined using ICP-MS-LA and IR spectroscopy. The distinct relationships of Li, Na, and Cs allow one to distinguish three genetic groups of beryl that resulted from an evolved mineral-forming fluid. It is shown that the Cs/Na value is reflected in IR spectra of water molecules in beryl that determine the genetic group of beryl. In addition, among the deposits studied, beryl of the largest Mariinsky (Malyshevo) deposit is distinguished by both its chemical composition and IR spectra.
